So i purchased the awesome Night owl DVR/Camera kit, and decided that the degree of view from a few of the cameras was too narrow. I bought this 1/3" CCD with 4-9mm adjustment and the picture from this cam is not only better, but as desired, the degree of view has increased exponentially. The cam switches back and forth between color & IR (nite vision) perfectly, so that you get real color during the day, and blk & white at night (not like some cams that have IR on all day which means the colors during the day are completely wrong on anything green like grass, trees, or brown). Anyway, the adjustments are easy, the mounting was simple. The camera is heavy/sturdy, and focus adjustment works beautifully (and is needed since you have the ability to adjust 4-9mm). The infrared lights up the night just fine. The color on mine is like a greyish tinted with purple, but not bad at all, its not like BARNEY purple or anything, just a slight tint of purple in the gray. Used existing voltage & BNC Video line from NightOwl camera/DVR. You can get a better view from a camera with higher tv lines, this one is 420, you can get 540 from other dome cams on amazon, so if you need even better video, spend a little more. Otherwise, this should do fine.
Gives us good view of concern areas for monitoring and our security.
Have ordered and installed 3 and will be ordering another to complete our security system.
